Mini or Opel

Hello guys, I’m in the old age where I have to think about my first car. I’m so c.a 8000 euros available what I find really a lot for a first car and that’s why I want to use it well. That means I want a car which is not all too vulnerable to possible damage. At the moment I’m really swinging between the Mini Cooper One or the Opel Corsa C! Could you possibly offer me some decision-making help? Would you like to thank me very much. Mfg xnion
